5 LAW 1 The pitch Pitch surface The surface is composed of sand, is level and free of pebbles, shells and any other objects which could injure the players. For international competitions, the sand must be fine and at least 40cm deep. It must be sifted until suitable for play, must not be rough or contain pebbles or any other dangerous elements; however, it must not be so fine as to cause dust that sticks to the skin. Dimensions Pitch markings The pitch is rectangular. The touch line must be longer than the goal line. Length: 35 37m Width: 26 28m The boundaries of the pitch are marked by lines that belong to the areas that they delineate. The two longer boundary lines are called touch lines. The two shorter boundary lines are called goal lines, although there is no line between the goalposts. 1 2 m m 5 7 m m 8 10 cm 5 m 9 m 9 m 6 7

6 LAW 1 The pitch All lines are 8cm to 10cm wide and are made of blue tape to contrast with the sand. The tape must be flexible and hard-wearing but not harm the players feet. These lines must be firmly anchored to the sand at each corner and in the middle of each touch line with special clamps, and to the goals with rubber rings attached to the posts. The pitch is divided into two halves by an imaginary halfway line marked by two red flags located outside the pitch. The middle of this imaginary line is the exact position for the kick-off and certain direct free kicks. >1.5 m m 1 2 m The penalty area The penalty area is the area between the goal line and an imaginary parallel line joining both touch lines at a distance of 9m from the goal line and marked by two yellow flags placed next to each touch line outside the pitch cm The imaginary penalty mark is located in the middle of the penalty area line, equidistant from each goal post. Substitution zone Flags The substitution zone is the area on the touch line where the players enter and leave the pitch. Each corner is marked with a pole with a blunt end and a red flag made of pliable, durable, weatherproof plastic. A yellow flag is placed at each end of the imaginary lines marking the penalty area and two red flags at each side of the halfway line, all of which are securely anchored at a distance of between 1 and 1.5m outside the touch lines. It is situated in front of the timekeeper s table and measures a total of 5m, with 2.5m on either side of the point where the halfway line joins the touch line. The teams benches are placed behind the touch lines in such a way that the substitution zone is kept clear. The flagpoles must be at least 1.5m high. 8 9

7 LAW 1 The pitch Goals The goals are placed in the middle of each goal line. They consist of two upright posts equidistant from each corner and joined at the top by a horizontal crossbar. The distance (inside measurement) between the posts is 5.5m and the distance from the lower edge of the crossbar to the ground is 2.2m. 5.5 m The posts and crossbar have the same width and thickness of not less than 10cm and not more than 20cm all around and are painted in a colour contrasting with the sand. 2.2 m 1.5 m cm The nets, made of hemp, jute or nylon, are attached to the back of the posts and crossbar. For safety reasons, the bottom of each post has a ledge that is anchored beneath the sand. Two horizontal bars measuring 1.5m attached to the back of each post are joined by a bar or chain at the back covered with plastic, with hooks and knots at each end, and placed on the sand surface. This bar (or chain) is also anchored in the sand. Safety The pitch is surrounded by a safety zone perimeter measuring 1m to 2m wide. The goals may be portable but they must be anchored securely to the ground during play

8 LAW 2 The ball Properties and measurements Decisions The ball: is spherical; is made of leather or another suitable material that is crush-proof and resistant to water and abrasion; has a circumference of not less than 68cm and not more than 70cm; weighs not less than 400 grams and not more than 440 grams at the start of the match; has a pressure equal to atmospheres at sea level. 1 The official ball used in competitions must be approved by FIFA. 2 In competition matches, only balls that meet the minimum technical requirements stipulated in Law 2 are permitted for use. In FIFA competition matches and in competition matches organised under the auspices of the confederations, acceptance of the use of a football is conditional upon the football bearing one of the following three designations: The official FIFA APPROVED logo or the official FIFA INSPECTED logo or the INTERNATIONAL MATCHBALL STANDARD reference cm Such a designation on a football indicates that it has been tested officially and found to be in compliance with specific technical requirements, different for each category and additional to the minimum specifications stipulated in Law 2. FIFA issues the list of additional requirements specific to each of the respective categories and selects the institutes conducting the quality tests. Association competitions may require the use of balls bearing any one of these three designations. In all other matches, the ball used must fulfil the requirements of Law 2. Replacement of a defective ball If the ball bursts or becomes defective during the course of a match: play is stopped; the match is restarted in accordance with the provisions of Law 8. If an association imposes the use of balls bearing the FIFA APPROVED or FIFA INSPECTED logos for its own competitions, it must also permit the use of balls bearing the royalty-free INTERNATIONAL MATCHBALL STANDARD designation. If the ball bursts or is damaged while not in play (at a kick-off, goal kick, corner kick, direct free kick, penalty kick or ball inbound): play is restarted in accordance with the Laws

9 LAW 3 The number of players Players Substitution procedure A match is played by two teams, each consisting of no more than five players, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Substitutes may be used in any match played under the rules of an official competition at FIFA, confederation or association level. The maximum number of substitutes permitted is five. The number of substitutions made during a match is unlimited. A player who has been replaced may return to the pitch as a substitute for another player. A substitution may be made at any time, whether the ball is in or out of play, as long as the following conditions are observed: the player wishing to enter the pitch signals his intention to do so by raising a sign with the number of the player whom he intends to replace above his head; the player being replaced leaves the pitch through his own team s substitution zone; the player entering the pitch does so from his own team s substitution zone but not until the player leaving the pitch has crossed the touch line completely; a substitute is subject to the authority and jurisdiction of the referees whether he is called upon to play or not; the substitution is complete when the substitute entering the pitch hands the player leaving the pitch the sign with the player s number, at which point the substitute becomes an active player and the player he is replacing ceases to be one. The stopwatch is not stopped while players are substituted. Changing goalkeepers A goalkeeper may be substituted at any time. The stopwatch is not stopped while goalkeepers are substituted. Any player may change places with the goalkeeper, providing: the referee is informed before the substitution takes place; the player must wear a goalkeeper s shirt

10 LAW 3 The number of players Law 4 The players equipment Offences / sanctions If, while a substitution is being made, a substitute enters the pitch or a player being substituted leaves the pitch via an area that does not belong to his own team s substitution zone, or he infringes the substitution procedure, except in the case of injury or in connection with Law 4: play is stopped; the offending player is cautioned, shown the yellow card and ordered to leave the pitch to carry out the substitution procedure properly; the match is restarted with a direct free kick to be taken by the opposing team from the imaginary point in the middle of the halfway line; if the ball was out of play, the match is restarted in accordance with the Laws of the Game; if a substitute with a previous caution commits an infringement while entering the pitch during the substitution procedure that warrants another caution, he is sent off as a result of two yellow cards, but his team is not reduced in number as the substitution procedure was not completed. The match is restarted in accordance with the provisions of the previous point. Safety Basic equipment A player must not use equipment or wear anything (including any kind of jewellery) that could be dangerous to himself or another player. The basic compulsory equipment of a player comprises the following separate items: a jersey or shirt; shorts if thermal undershorts are worn, they must be the same main colour as the shorts; Footwear is not permitted. Elastic binding around the ankles or feet and plastic spectacles may be worn for protection. Decisions 1 At the start of a match, each team must have at least four players. If other players arrive at the match after play has started, they will be allowed to take part in the match if they were designated as players before kick-off and the referees were informed accordingly. 2 If, as the result of a sending-off or injury, fewer than three players (including the goalkeeper) are left in either team, the match must be abandoned

11 Law 4 The players equipment Jersey or shirt Goalkeepers The colours of the numbers must contrast clearly with the colours of the shirt. For international matches, the number on the back must also appear on the front of the shirt or shorts in a smaller size. The goalkeeper is permitted to wear long trousers. Each goalkeeper must wear colours that distinguish him from the other players and the referees. Offences / sanctions Restart of play For any infringement of this Law: The player at fault is instructed by the referees to leave the pitch to correct his equipment or to obtain any missing item of equipment. If he has not been substituted, he may not return to the pitch until he has shown his outfit to one of the referees, including the third referee, who will judge whether the equipment is now correct. Either the referee or the second referee gives him permission to re-enter the pitch. If the referees stop play to caution the offending player: play is restarted with a direct free kick to be taken by a player of the opposing team from the imaginary point in the middle of the halfway line. Decisions 1 Players must not reveal undershirts that contain slogans or advertising. Any player who lifts his shirt to reveal slogans or advertising will be sanctioned by the competition organiser. 2 The shirts must have sleeves

12 LAW 5 The referee and second referee The referees authority Each match is controlled by two referees, who have the authority to enforce the Laws of the Game in the match for which they have been appointed, from the moment they enter the facilities where the pitch is situated until they leave. Powers and duties The referees: enforce the Laws of the Game; allow play to continue if the team against which an offence has been committed stands to benefit from such an advantage, and punish the original offence if the anticipated advantage does not accrue at that time; keep a record of the match and provide the appropriate authorities with a match report that includes information on any disciplinary action taken against players or team officials as well as any other incidents that occur before, during or after the match; the referee acts as timekeeper if the latter or third referee is not present; the referee stops, suspends or terminates the match for any infringement of the Laws or as a result of any outside interference; take disciplinary action against players guilty of offences warranting a caution or sending-off; take action against team officials who are guilty of misconduct and, if necessary, dismiss them from the pitch area without showing them a card; ensure that no unauthorised persons enter the pitch; interrupt play if a player is deemed to be wasting time; stop the match if, in their opinion, a player is seriously injured, and ensure that the player is carried off the pitch; allow play to continue until the ball is out of play if a player is, in their opinion, only slightly injured; ensure that any balls used meet the requirements of Law 2; Referees decisions The decisions of the referee regarding facts connected with play are final. The referee and second referee may only change a decision if they realise that they have made a mistake or if they deem it necessary to do so, provided that play has not restarted or the match has not terminated

13 LAW 5 The referee and second referee Law 6 The timekeeper and third referee Decisions 1 If the referee and second referee both signal a foul simultaneously and there is a disagreement as to which team is to be penalised, the decision of the referee will prevail. 2 Both the referee and second referee may caution or send off a player, but in the case of a disagreement between them, the referee s decision will prevail. Duties A timekeeper and third referee are appointed. They are seated outside the pitch at the imaginary halfway line on the same side as the substitution zone. The timekeeper and third referee are provided with a suitable stopwatch by the association or club under whose jurisdiction the match is being played. 3 In the event of undue interference or improper conduct of the second referee, the referee will relieve the second referee of his duties, arrange for his replacement and submit a report to the appropriate authorities

14 Law 6 The timekeeper and third referee The timekeeper ensures that the duration of the match complies with the provisions of Law 7 by: - starting his stopwatch as soon as the match kicks off; - stopping the stopwatch as soon as a goal has been scored, a penalty kick or direct free kick awarded, or the referees have signalled that a player is injured or for time-wasting. - stopping the stopwatch whenever the referees signal him to do so; - restarting the stopwatch after a kick-off, a direct free kick or a penalty kick has been taken. checking the two-minute effective time punishment period when a player has been sent off; indicating the end of each period, the match and extra time with a different whistle or acoustic signal from those used by the referees; signalling to the referees exactly when to start the second and third periods of play after the three-minute break and when to start extra time, if necessary. The third referee The third referee assists the referees and timekeeper by: keeping a record of stoppages in the game and the reasons for them; ensuring that substitutions are correctly carried out and, by using a different whistle or acoustic signal from those used by the referees, indicating any infringement that has occurred during substitution, if the advantage rule cannot be applied; making a note of the numbers of the players who score goals and in which minute of play; recording the names and numbers of the players cautioned or sent off; providing any other information relevant to the game; monitoring the conduct of those persons seated on the substitutes bench; informing the teams exactly when a player may substitute another who has been sent off. If either of the other referees is injured, the third referee replaces him, assuming the function of the second referee. Decisions 1 For international matches, the use of a timekeeper and third referee is compulsory. 2 In the event of undue interference by the timekeeper or third referee, the referee will relieve either of his duties, arrange for his replacement and submit a report to the appropriate authorities

15 LAW 7 The duration of the match Periods of play The match lasts three equal periods of 12 minutes each. The timekeeping is carried out by a timekeeper, whose duties are defined in Law 6. The time must be stopped as described in Law 6: whenever a goal is scored; whenever a direct free kick or a penalty kick is awarded; whenever the referees signal accordingly; whenever the referees signal that a player is wasting time. The duration of each period may be prolonged to enable a penalty kick or a direct free kick to be taken. The match or period of play ends when: the ball goes directly into a goal and a goal is scored; after the ball has been kicked and it passes over the boundaries of the pitch; the ball touches the goalkeeper or the posts, crossbar or sand and passes into goal the goal is awarded; the ball touches any player other than the goalkeeper after it has been kicked; the defending goalkeeper stops the ball or it rebounds from the goalposts or crossbar and does not enter the goal. The timekeeper determines the end of each period of 12 (twelve) minutes. When the whistle or horn is blown, the referee signals the end of each period or the match. After this signal, no other action will be allowed apart from those specified above. If the ball has been kicked, the referees must wait for the completion of the action that began before the timekeeper blew the whistle or horn before they can terminate the period of play or match. Interval between periods of play Extra time There is a three-minute interval between each period of play min / If the score is level after normal playing time, extra time of three minutes is played. If the score is level after extra time, penalty kicks are taken from the imaginary penalty mark in accordance with Law / 24 min 12 min 2/ 26 27

16 LAW 8 The start and restart of play Preliminaries A coin is tossed and the team that wins the toss decides whether to attack in a certain direction in the first period of play or whether to take the kick-off. In the second period of play, the teams change ends and attack the opposite goals; the team that did not take the kick-off in the first period will take it in the second period of play. Before the third period of play, a coin is again tossed and the team that wins the toss decides whether to attack in a certain direction in the third period of play or whether to take the kick-off. 5 m If extra time is played, the team that did not take the kick-off in the third period of play will take it in the period of extra time; the teams change ends and attack opposite goals. Kick-off A kick-off is a way of starting or restarting play: at the start of the match; after a goal has been scored; at the start of the second and third periods of play; at the start of extra time. A goal may not be scored directly from a kick-off. Procedure All players are in their own half of the pitch. The opponents of the team taking the kick-off are at least 5m away from the ball until it is in play. The ball is stationary on the imaginary point in the middle of the halfway line. The referee gives a signal to kick off. A player kicks the ball into action. The ball is in play when it is in the air or has been moved forward, after which another player may kick the ball. The player taking the kick-off may not touch the ball a second time until it has touched another player. After a team scores a goal, the kick-off is taken by the other team

17 LAW 8 The start and restart of play Offences / sanctions Procedure Dropped ball If the player taking the kick-off touches the ball a second time before it has touched another player, a direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team, to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred. For any other infringement of the kick-off procedure, the kick-off is retaken. A dropped ball is a way of restarting the match after a temporary stoppage that becomes necessary while the ball is in play and provided that immediately preceding the stoppage, it did not pass over the touch line or goal line, for any reason not mentioned elsewhere in the Laws of the Game. Offences / sanctions One of the referees drops the ball on the imaginary point in the middle of the halfway line. The ball is in play as soon as it touches the sand. The ball is dropped again: if it is touched by a player before it makes contact with the sand; if the ball leaves the pitch after it makes contact with the sand, without being touched by a player

18 Law 9 The ball in and out of play LAW 10 The method of scoring Ball out of play Ball in play The ball is out of play when: it has wholly crossed the goal line or touch line, whether on the ground or in the air; play has been stopped by the referees.

Goal scored Unless otherwise provided for by these Laws, a goal is scored when the whole of the ball passes over the imaginary goal line between the goalposts and under the crossbar, unless it has been thrown, carried or intentionally propelled by the hand or arm by a player of the attacking side, including the goalkeeper, and providing the team scoring the goal has not infringed the Laws of the Game. The goalkeeper: may not score a goal directly by throwing the ball with his hand; if this happens, a goal clearance is awarded to the opposing team. may not score a goal directly after releasing the ball with hands and kicking it into the air before it touches the ground; may score a goal directly by placing the ball on the ground and then kicking it.

19 LAW 10 The method of scoring Law 11 Fouls and misconduct Winning team The team that scores the greater number of goals during a match is the winner. If both teams score an equal number of goals or none at all, extra time is played at the end of normal time. If extra time ends in a draw, the match is decided by alternate kicks taken from the imaginary penalty mark. The team that scores more goals from the same number of penalty kicks is the winner. If a team is left with fewer than three (3) players as a result of sendings-off, the referee will stop play and send a report to the relevant authorities. Direct free kick Fouls and misconduct are penalised as follows: A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following offences in a manner considered by the referees to be careless, reckless or using excessive force: kicks or attempts to kick an opponent; tackles or attempts to tackle an opponent, either by sliding or by bending down in front of or behind him; jumps at an opponent; charges an opponent, even with the shoulder; strikes or attempts to strike an opponent; pushes an opponent.

Disciplinary sanctions The referees are authorised to pronounce disciplinary sanctions on players from the moment they enter the pitch until they leave the pitch after the final whistle. Cautionable offences by players or substitutes Penalty kick A penalty kick is awarded if a player commits any of the aforementioned offences inside his own penalty area, irrespective of the position of the ball but provided that it is in play.

Decisions 1 A player who has been sent off may not re-enter the game in progress or sit on the substitutes bench but must leave the vicinity of the pitch. Another player may substitute a team-mate who has been sent off, after a lapse of two minutes; he may enter the pitch provided he has the authorisation of the third referee

22 LAW 12 Direct free kicks Direct free kicks There are only direct free kicks, which are to be taken as follows: The players may not form a wall. The player who was fouled takes the kick, unless he has been seriously injured, in which case his substitute will take it. The ball must be stationary when the kick is taken and the kicker may not touch the ball a second time until it has touched another player. Additional time must be allowed for a direct free kick to be taken at the end of each period of time or extra time. If a direct free kick enters the player s own goal directly, a corner kick is awarded to the opposing team. If a direct free kick enters the opposing team s goal directly, a goal is awarded. 5 m Position of direct free kick Direct free kick from the opponents half of the pitch If a direct free kick is taken in the half of the pitch of the team that committed an offence, every player, apart from the one taking the kick and the opposing goalkeeper, must be: on the pitch; at least 5m away from the ball until it is in play; behind or to the side of the ball
